A cytogenetically normal male fetus was subsequently found to have female external genitalia, a cardiac malformation and mid-trimester intra-uterine growth retardation by ultrasound examination. The maternal serum oestriol level was low. The combination of low oestriol and sonographic findings sugge
## Abstract We report on the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal function in 2 male infants with the Smith‐Lemli‐Opitz (SLO or RSH) syndrome. Both infants had abnormal external genitalia. Basal and LHRH stimulated plasma gonadotropins were normal for age (1 month). Plasma testosterone, androstenedione,
Inhibin A is now an established second-trimester maternal serum marker of Down syndrome. Since activin A has a common -subunit to inhibin A we evaluated this substance and its binding protein, follistatin, as potential markers. We studied 30 affected and 199 unaffected pregnancies at 13-16 weeks' ge
## Abstract In a large multi‐center trial involving prenatal screening for Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (SLOS), we evaluated maternal urine and serum steroid analysis as a non‐invasive diagnostic alternative to amniotic fluid sterol analysis. Candidate steroid ratios included: 7‐dehydropregnanetriol/
